Question 1

Q1. What is the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB Act) and why does it affect employee handbooks?

Accepted Answer

The OBBB Act, signed on July 4, 2025, introduces new tax deductions for tips and overtime pay, and requires updated payroll reporting. Employers must revise handbooks to reflect these changes.

Question 2

Q2. What new tax deductions are available under the OBBB Act?

Accepted Answer

Eligible employees can deduct up to $25,000 in qualifying tips and up to $12,500 in overtime premium pay ($25,000 for joint filers) from their federal taxable income between 2025–2028

Question 3

Q3. Do employers need to update payroll reporting under the OBBB Act?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Employers must separately track and report qualified tip and overtime pay on employee Form W-2s, while reminding employees that these earnings are still subject to Social Security, Medicare, and state taxes.

Question 4

Q4. Besides the OBBB Act, what other policies should be updated in the 2026 handbook?

Accepted Answer

Key updates include remote/hybrid work policies, AI usage guidelines, paid leave laws, anti-harassment and inclusion standards, and employee classification rules.

Question 5

Q5. How do state regulations interact with federal changes in the handbook?

Accepted Answer

State laws that provide greater employee benefits supersede federal regulations. Employers must ensure compliance with both, especially for multi-state and remote workers.

Accepted Answer

With growing AI use in workplaces, employers need clear guardrails on approved tools, data security, and anti-discrimination protections to avoid compliance risks.
